My mate took a pic of this bird in his back garden in December, we are both unsure what kind of bird it is so can anyone put us right. The location was SW Scotland.

Id say male Reed Bunting.

I'll go for reed bunting its either a male or a female

We were thinking it was a bunting of some kind but thought it didn't have enough black on it's

head for a cock reed bunting and too much for a hen.

Females dont have black on them at all.
